These last couple of weekends have been filled with late September sunshine. Outside has been the only place to be.
I started in my own garden, lazing around and drinking tea.
On Sunday I went to Allotment Soup, an art-and-allotment-and-soup event that I’ve managed to miss every single year I’ve been here. Not this year though.
I’m informed that the fabulous purple plant is callaloo, although having looked at a few pictures, I’m not entirely sure that’s what it is. Anyone any idea? I’d love to grow it, especially if it’s edible.
This weekend was the turn of our little community garden, where we hosted an open day.
On Sunday morning I was back in my own garden, buttling around, repotting radishes and kale and winter salad, and creating hanging baskets unlikely to survive (but I’m always hopeful).
What’s going on in your garden right now?
a cheerful living adventure 
The purple flowers look like Amaranth. Depending on the variety, the seeds and/or the leaves are edible. Lovely garden.
Aha, amaranth! Thank you SO much – I actually saw a picture in a magazine yesterday that looks just like them and also amaranth so you must be right (I accidentally typed ‘a marathon’ there – shows where my mind is at the minute!). I may even have some amaranth seeds lurking…
Just love your photo’s! It all looks amazing!
Thanks Gill! 🙂
